Chapter 65 The Thousand-Layered Path of the Light Feather, Qian Renxue's Surprise

The soul power shield around the two didn't dissipate until the rest of the Royal Fighting Team started a new round of training at the training ground.

"Yanyan, you go to training first. I'll wait for you over there. We'll go home for lunch together."

Dugu Bo was very tactful; he only said what he could say, and after saying just a little bit, he aroused his granddaughter's curiosity.

"Okay, Grandpa, wait for me a little longer, the morning training is almost over."

Dugu Yan had only just begun to learn the basics when her grandfather abruptly ended the conversation. Although she was quite upset, seeing that the soul power shield had been removed, she obediently walked towards the training ground.

However, in the following training sessions, Dugu Yan frequently lost focus and kept glancing towards Dugu Bo on the sidelines.

The others, who were present and had titles, were watching with great enthusiasm. In contrast, their teamwork was completely lacking, which Qin Ming found unbearable to watch, so he took the initiative to stop the training.

"Alright, let's call it a day for this morning's training. We won't get any results this way. I've decided you can rest today, but this absolutely cannot happen tomorrow, understand?"

Hearing Qin Ming's words, Dugu Yan lowered her head, feeling a little embarrassed. She knew that her behavior and her grandfather's presence had affected others, and she couldn't help but complain in her heart that she would definitely give her grandfather a piece of her mind when she got home at noon and pluck his beard. Really, he always spoke halfway and made her lose focus.

After everyone answered in unison, the training ended early.

Dugu Yan greeted her teammates, then went straight to her grandfather on the sidelines, and left the Heaven Dou Royal Academy under the watchful eyes of the others.

Meanwhile, after returning to the Spirit Hall, Guang Ling immediately found Salas and relayed Han Li's request. Then, while Salas was secretly observing his changes, she handed over the other two matters to him as well, before heading to the Spirit Hall's dining hall.

This time, Han Li will need at least ten days to recover, and with the follow-up matters, it won't be short at all.

There's no shortage of medicinal herbs for the time being, but for food, we should just take what's readily available or have someone else prepare it, so as not to affect Xiao Li's recovery.

He hadn't forgotten that Han Li didn't need to waste this time; it was only because he was helping him break through that things turned out this way. As his master, there wasn't much he could do, but he would take care of the logistics during this period.

Guangling thought this way, and that's what she did.

Without wasting any words, he took the bishop's token he had just received from Salas and unceremoniously ordered the kitchen to pack up a large amount of various ingredients. After casually instructing them to prepare several tables of ready-made dishes, he returned to his room to wait.

Salas's efficiency has always been beyond question, and it seems that Qian Renxue doesn't have anything going on right now.

Within just one hour, Salas brought news that everything had been taken care of and that Lightfeather could go at any time, as long as they carefully infiltrated along the predetermined route.

Guangling patted Salas on the shoulder with satisfaction, signaling him to work hard in the future. After spouting a long string of nonsense he had learned from Han Li, he packed up his prepared things and disappeared from the Spirit Hall.

Leaving aside the fact that Salas, after receiving the response, happily instructed the personnel of the Spirit Hall of Heaven Dou City to hurry up and search for information on the spirit beasts that Han Li needed.

After leaving the Spirit Hall, Guang Ling changed his disguise as planned and easily entered the Crown Prince's residence in broad daylight, making him sigh that the Heaven Dou Empire was truly useless.

Inside the main residence of the Crown Prince, in a secret room.

Qian Renxue, now back in her female form, happily welcomed Guangling inside.

Although she didn't know why Guangling had come again after only two days, she was still very happy.

"Grandpa Guangling, weren't you going to take Han Li for a walk around the area? Did something happen?"

The message from Salas did not mention that Guangling was preparing to leave, so Qian Renxue guessed as such.

"An unexpected event? You could call it an unexpected event, but to be precise, it was a pleasant surprise."

Guangling kept everyone in suspense for a moment, and only answered with a smile when Qian Renxue couldn't help but ask.

"A surprise? What surprise?"

Qian Renxue glanced at Guang Ling, who was deliberately teasing her, but didn't expose him and continued to play along.

"Is it a surprise that I broke through to level 98?"

Guangling straightened her chest and said proudly.

"You've broken through, of course you do. Congratulations, Grandpa Guangling!"

Qian Renxue was taken aback at first, then offered her congratulations.

"Hey, didn't you just break through to level 97 a year ago? How come you've done it so quickly?"

After Qian Renxue finished speaking, she realized what she had said and subconsciously asked a question.

"Haha, it seems you've noticed too, Xiaoxue. There's a reason why I broke through so quickly." Guangling then took off his hood and winked at Qian Renxue.

"What's the reason? Hey, Grandpa Guangling, your face, and your left eye can open freely now? This?" Qian Renxue suddenly stopped speaking halfway through her sentence, seeing the fair skin around Guangling's left eye.

"How is it? Xiaoxue, don't I look even more handsome?" Guangling said vainly.

Qian Renxue was already used to Guangling's speaking style, so she rolled her eyes and told him to figure it out himself.

"Alright, Xiaoxue, that's enough joking around."

Guangling's smile faded, and her expression turned serious.

"The reason I was able to break through and have my eyesight restored is actually all because of my apprentice."

Qian Renxue blinked, not interrupting him, and continued to listen quietly.

"While I was taking him, well, on a trip, we found a treasure trove. We discovered some rare and precious herbs there, to be precise, immortal herbs. You've probably heard of them, haven't you? Little Chrysanthemum used to love collecting records about these things."

Qian Renxue frowned and thought for a while before speaking uncertainly, "I think I've heard of it before. Chrysanthemum Douluo's martial soul is one of them, right? I don't know about the others."

Guangling nodded in agreement before continuing, "That's right, that's it. It just so happens that Han Li likes these flowers and plants. He even exchanged some related records with Chrysanthemum Douluo a while ago."

When the topic of the exchange came up, Guangling paused for a moment, as if thinking of something that had happened before, but she continued speaking anyway.

"Coincidentally, that treasure land just happened to have immortal herbs suitable for him and me. So, after consuming them, I not only successfully broke through, but also repaired the soul bone in my left eye. Hmm, my martial soul also became stronger." Guang Ling's smile was impossible to hide as he spoke.

"Um."

Qian Renxue nodded gently without asking any further questions, knowing that Guang Ling definitely had more to say.

Guangling didn't get the response she expected, so she coughed lightly, suppressed the strange look in her eyes, and looked at Qian Renxue.

"As you know, Han Li has been a filial son since he was a child."

Guangling's expression was very serious. Qian Renxue thought about Han Li's actions in the intelligence report and nodded, which was consistent with the report.

"So, I mentioned that I have a junior who needs a fire-attribute immortal herb, you know what I mean."

Guangling gave Qian Renxue a look and continued, "Then he decisively picked the best one from among them and asked me to bring it to you, saying it was a gift for you. Of course, I didn't tell him your identity, not even whether you were male or female."

"He just gave it to you like that? And said it was a gift?"

Qian Renxue's eyes widened, seemingly somewhat incredulous. Although she still had a vague concept of what a fairy herb was, a treasure that could enable a super Douluo like Guang Ling to break through must be something extraordinary. Even her grandfather couldn't do that.

This is so different from the description in the intelligence report that she couldn't help but want to get to know this "Junior Uncle".

"Yeah, I already said, Xiao Li is very generous to his own people. As soon as I mentioned it, he gave it to me and even asked me to give you his regards."

Guangling raised her chin slightly and retorted without hesitation.

He was telling the absolute truth, so he wasn't afraid that Qian Renxue would notice anything amiss.

However, it's true that Han Li didn't intentionally give the item away, but since they're master and disciple, it's not wrong to say they're one entity, Guang Ling thought to herself.
